DEA Drug Take Back Day - Every spring and fall, health departments and drug disposal sites around the country join the Drug Enforcement Agency in holding National Prescription Drug Take Back Days. This twice-yearly event provides a safe, convenient and responsible way to dispose of prescription and over-the-counter medications, while educating about the potential for medication misuse, accidental ingestion and overdose. During the 2020 Fall event, Vermonters disposed of 4,498 pounds of medication. The next Take Back Day is Saturday, April 30, 2022.

Fair Haven Police Department will be accepting prescription drugs from 10-2 on April 30. You do not need to be a Fair Haven resident to participate.
